Ava and Will are really my comfort duo this season. Funny, entertaining, observant, and keeping the plot moving. The polar opposite of the stress and dread that envelops me every time Mickey and Morgan have a conversation.

Ava being immune to Vinny's "but im just an awkward nice guy 🥺" guilt trip. Mickey and Morgan should take notes. This is what an actual power move looks like. See how the people at the top of the power structure are actually stressed out? Exactly.

Ava won HOH? Ava remembered who the hell she is (a no bullshit New Yawkah) and plans to nominate Vince AND Zach???

Mickey and Morgan were definitely counting on Jimmy crashing out and causing a scene all week to better justify them turning on him and a lot of their spiraling rn revolves around him not doing that.

The night before the renom Mickey kept going on and on about "perception" and how the move would be "perceived". It's why she's so angry at Ashley and Rachel publicly pushing back on it.

They take personal offense at being perceived as anything but the morally superior "heroes" of the house. In order for them to be clear cut "heroes", they need Jimmy to behave as the clear cut villain, when he doesn't play his part as they perceive it, they rage. It's pathetic and embarrassing at their age but that's what's happening there.

So Ava is the one Mickey disciple that refuses to question Mickey which means she'll be blindly helping Mickey (who has been converted into a Zach/Vince soldier) in taking out the only people who might have the guts to target Zach and Vince...so she's flopping by association now.

Wow, the gameplay aspect of this season might have really died before it ever began. Well congrats to Zach and Vince in advance since damn the near whole house is blind to their easy path to victory.

Mickey seriously thinks a house run by an unchallenged Vinny and Zach will prioritize her over Lauren?

Me watching Mickey lose all credibility with Ashley, Will, and Rachel after her and Morgan swore they'd only gain more power in the house with this Jimmy move:

[bklynmusicnerd]

Oop never mind, Vince's weasel mist did not work on Jimmy. Jimmy still (pretty accurately) believes Vince and Zach influenced Mickey flipping on him per his convo with Rachel.

When even the target himself doesn't believe you made the decision of your own accord....idk Mickey.

[bklynmusicnerd]

Not Vince covering his bases in case Jimmy wins blockbuster, comforting Jimmy and acting like he didn't know Mickey was going to put him up.

This is the same Vince that was hyping up Mickey yesterday and telling her he'd have her back on calling out Jimmy during the renom. And Mickey just did this man's bidding for free while he (rightfully) takes advantage of her burning bridges with Jimmy.

Only Rachel, Ava and Will are seeing through this shit. How embarrassing for everyone else.

[bklynmusicnerd]

Rachel needs to stop trying to save the girls from themselves. It's a waste of her time because they look down on her so they won't heed her advice. She's not wrong about Mickey running the risk of relinquishing her power to chase after the approval of fake allies who see her as a threat, but Mickey will never see it because she suffers from "I know best" syndrome.

[bklynmusicnerd]

Rachel is now clocking Mickey and Morgan's downfall the same way she clocked Lauren's last week. She's absolutely right about them thinking way too far ahead, assuming that they'll acquire all these numbers from turning on Jimmy and jumping straight to the endgame. Rachel the Prophet.

[bklynmusicnerd]

Vinny saying "are you serious?" twice because he can't believe Mickey bought his bullshit and is targeting her own ally over him. He's so giddy over this stupid ass decision of Mickey's, and he didn't even have to offer her anything real for it.

[bklynmusicnerd]

"We lose Jimmy and we gain Rachel, Lauren and Katherine"

[bklynmusicnerd]

Morgan sounds like she's spiraling every time she defends her allegiance to Vince, and I can't believe Mickey is letting her have this much influence on her hoh when she's in this state.
